Scalper Signal + Cynthia’s Trend Bars MT4 Scalping Strategy
This MT4 scalping strategy pairs the Scalper Signal Forex Indicator with the Cynthia’s Trend Bars Indicator.
It is designed for fast-paced entries on short timeframes (M1–M15) across several currency pairs (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/JPY).
The idea is simple: use clear signal arrows to trigger trades, and trend bars to filter direction and momentum.
This strategy is best suited for active traders comfortable executing multiple trades per session.
The Scalper Signal indicator shows a green arrow for a buy and a red arrow for a sell.
The Cynthia’s Trend Bars indicator colors the bars — green bars indicate a buy trend, purple bars indicate a sell trend.
By combining them, you aim to trade only when both the arrow and the trend bar color align, improving accuracy and reducing random entries.

- Ensure the current bars from Cynthia’s Trend Bars are green, showing bullish trend momentum.
- Enter a buy position immediately after confirmation of both signals.
- Set a stop loss a few pips below the most recent swing low (or below the arrow’s candle low).
- Set a take profit target of 10–20 pips (for very short M1/M5 trades) or 20–40 pips (for M15)
- OR exit when Cynthia’s Trend Bars change from green to purple, signaling trend weakening.
Sell Entry Rules

Drawbacks
- Scalping demands high discipline and fast execution; frequent monitoring is required.
- In very sideways or low-volatility conditions, the arrows may flash often but result in losses or whipsaws.

- Mistiming or delayed reaction to the arrow and bar color could result in poor risk-reward or quick stop-outs.
Example Case Study 1: EUR/USD M5 Chart
During the London session, EUR/USD on an M5 chart printed a green arrow from the Scalper Signal indicator at 1.0952. At the same time, Cynthia’s Trend Bars turned green.
A buy trade was entered at 1.0953 with a stop loss at 1.0943 and a take profit target of 1.0970 (17 pips).
The trade closed at the target within 25 minutes. Monitoring the bar colors allowed the trader to stay in till momentum faded.
Example Case Study 2: AUD/USD M1 Chart
In a rapid session for AUD/USD on M1, a red arrow appeared at 0.6738 signaling a sell. Cynthia’s Trend Bars had switched to purple at the same time.
A sell position was opened at 0.6738, stop loss at 0.6743, take profit at 0.6725 (13 pips).
Within 10 minutes, the pair dropped and hit the target. The short timeframe demanded quick monitoring, but the reward was realized swiftly.
Strategy Tips
- Trade mainly during the highest liquidity windows (London and New York overlap) for tighter spreads.
- Choose major currency pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and AUD/USD to reduce spread and slippage.
- If Cynthia’s Trend Bars are mixed or flat (neither clearly green nor purple), skip the trade to avoid sideways noise.
- Keep a tight stop loss relative to your take profit (for example, 1:1 or 1:1.5 risk-reward) and risk only a small percentage of your account per trade.
- Use a demo account first to familiarise yourself with how quickly signals and bars change on shorter timeframes.

FAQ
Does this indicator repaint its signals?
The Scalper Signal is designed to be a reliable partner, meaning the arrows stay fixed once the candle has officially closed.
This is vital for backtesting and for building trust in the system.
When you see a signal on your historical data, you can be sure that is exactly where it appeared during live market conditions.
What is the best timeframe for this indicator?
While it works on any period, most scalpers prefer the 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts.
On these lower timeframes, you can find multiple signals throughout the day.
However, if you prefer a slower pace, using it on the 1-hour or 4-hour charts can help you catch larger trend reversals with less screen time.
Can I use these arrows as an exit signal?
Yes, the Forex Scalper Signal indicator can be used for both trade entry and exit.
Many traders find success by entering on a green arrow and holding the position until a red arrow appears.
This allows you to ride the majority of a trend while having a clear, objective rule for when to take your profits off the table.
